Rulla snöbollar i solsken
This famous swedish phrase describes an attempt to achieve something that is inherently doomed to fail due to unfavorable or contradictory conditions. Just as snowballs cannot be successfully rolled or formed in warm, sunny weather, some tasks become impossible or futile when the necessary circumstances are not in place. The expression highlights the absurdity or impracticality of pursuing an endeavor when the environment or situation is completely unsupportive. Directly translated to "rolling snowballs in sunshine".-Ulf Skönberg
Context: Two friends, Sara and Anton, talk about Anton's idea to plan an outdoor concert in the middle of winter.
Sara: "Are you sure it's a good idea to have an outdoor concert in January?"
Anton: "I know, it's not ideal, but I think it can work."
Sara: "Anton, it feels like trying to roll snowballs in the sunshine. Nobody wants to stand outside and freeze then."
Anton: sighs "You're probably right. Maybe I should think again."
Sammanhang: Två vänner, Sara och Anton, pratar om Antons idé att planera en utomhuskonsert mitt i vintern.
Sara: "Är du säker på att det är en bra idé att ha en konsert utomhus i januari?"
Anton: "Jag vet, det är inte idealiskt, men jag tror det kan funka."
Sara: "Anton, det känns som att försöka rulla snöbollar i solsken. Ingen vill stå ute och frysa då."
Anton: suckar "Du har nog rätt. Kanske jag ska tänka om."

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
